Endovascular management of iatrogenic vertebro-vertebral fistula: Black Swan event in C2 pedicle screw

CONCLUSION: Iatrogenic VVF should immediately be suspected when the implant trajectory goes slightly off track during a C1-2 fixation. Immediate postoperative DSA and MRI are advisable, irrespective of whether the patient is symptomatic. These lesions are best managed with endovascular coiling with or without detachable balloons.PMID:35673671 | PMC:PMC9168301 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_261_2022
